FDR would be proud to know the CCC was still at large. The project idea is clever and excitable. It's guidelines and structure seem as stable as my children-hating third grade teacher. I'll elaborate.
First of all, this is something that people want to get
involved in. It’s not a group report on
watching paint dry, it’s a story—something that people can get passionate
about. That’s probably the strongest
point of the project.
Here’s your biggest problem.
Your goal is… well, I’ll say “lacking”
because I don’t want to get beat up after class. Sell one copy of your book on amazon? A total grand profit of less than a dollar
and all you’ve proved is that writers live and die poor. Is money what you’re really trying to
prove? How about the God-give greatness
of working together? That’s something
your project could prove, something that could matter. Believe it or not, a lot of people think
crowd sources is killing what makes individualism. You’re project could be aimed at proving an
individual can still keep his/her identity even when working in a group and
still accomplish more than just working alone.
And trust me, crowd sources can be a great thing. Scientist worked for a decade to figure out a
certain strand for an aids breakthrough with no luck. By taking the problem and turning it into a
game then crowd sourcing it to gamers, the problem was solved in 10 days. Here’s the actual article, you can use it for
one of your literary reviews:
In other words, crowd sourcing can lead to amazing things
without destroying individualism (or can it?).
I’d suggest you either take that as a main goal, or find something that
really makes a stand more than scoring that whopping one dollar bill.
Otherwise, great stuff!
